GIF decision: Advertising suspension

What does this decision mean?

  • Wstrzymanie reklam — The decision suspends advertising activities — the product itself remains available.

It was found that the advertising of Gardimax Medica Spray and Dektac 25 mg film-coated tablets is misleading, attributing to them effects of “combating viruses” and “combating fever” that are not consistent with the approved Summary of Product Characteristics. Potential effects: incorrect use of the medicine, lack of treatment efficacy, possible complications.
